Andrea starts the show by answering Listener Carol’s voicemail question about making big-batch pie crusts. She makes multiple batches of Mary Beth’s Reliable Pie Crust in her 14-cup Cuisinart, then wraps each crust in plastic wrap, pops them in a plastic bag, and freezes. When she’s planning to bake a pie, she removes a crust […]
Andrea’s ready for the release of the Downton Abbey movie this September, and even more excited to try some historic Downtown Abbey-inspired desserts. While there are many cookbooks inspired by the beloved series, Andrea likes the Downton Abbey Cooks website created by Pamela Foster, which weaves in historical facts along with recipes. (For example, did […]

It’s the neurological ability shared by just 2-4% of the population allowing them to smell or taste what others only absorb visually — for example, names, numbers and letters!

After a disastrous experience with an usually foolproof banana bread recipe, Andrea introduces a new mini-segment, Almost Edible. Warning: Do not eyeball bourbon or butter (especially when it’s $8.69 a pound!). English teatime favorite Lemon Drizzle Cake was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Andrea enjoyed this one-bowl loaf cake with its straightforward […]
This week Stefin finds a new protein packed snack from Good Housekeeping magazine, the Spiced Plum Quinoa Muffin. If you’re looking for a quick way to add protein to your breakfast pastry, try this out. Andrea is raving about audiobooks, especially those she can check out from Overdrive through her library. She and her 6th […]
It’s the last week of August, and Stefin is sending her kids off to their new London school. She reports that hot lunch is on the menu for her two, as it the seemingly worldwide phenomenon of “snack” (with some restrictions her son may struggle with).
